  • Potternewton Lane/Harehills Lane Junction Improvement Scheme
    Agenda Item: 3485/2014 Report author: Sabby Khaira Tel: 0113 2475381 Report to the Chief Officer (Highways and Transportation) Date: 28 October 2014 Subject: Potternewton Lane/Harehills Lane Junction Improvement Scheme Capital Scheme Number: 32154 Are specific electoral Wards affected? Yes No If relevant, name(s) of Ward(s): Chapel Allerton Are there implications for equality and diversity and cohesion and Yes No integration? Is the decision eligible for Call-In? Yes No Does the report contain confidential or exempt information? Yes No If relevant, Access to Information Procedure Rule number: Appendix number: Summary of main issues 1. This scheme meets the Best Council objectives of improving roads. The scheme contributes to building a child friendly city by providing streets that are safe for children to use. The scheme also tackles some of the barriers to getting people active, allowing them to walk to use local businesses, community facilities, and healthcare. 2. There is a demand for a contolled pedestrian crossing where Potternewton Lane meets Harrogate Road. This crossing is on the school route for Chapel Allerton Primary School and is located close to Tech North which accommodates many community facilities. Currently there is a small traffic island in the centre of Potternewton Lane that is used by over 450 pedestrians a day. The existing facility does not meet current standards and this scheme will address the concerns of the local community by providing a safe controlled pedestrian crossing. 3. Authority is now being sought to implement improvements to the junction and pedestrian crossing facilities. The proposed include:- A new signalised staggered pedestrian crossing and island (see EP-732154-01- 01) to improve the crossing facilities on Potternewton Lane and the addition of an advanced stop line and advisory cycle lane to allow cyclists easier movements through the junction.

  • Owners of Gipton Wood - Gift to Leeds by Peter J
    Owners of Gipton Wood - Gift to Leeds By Peter J. Kelley On 16 November 1923, The Common Seal of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen and Citizens of Leeds, was fixed to a Deed of Gift conveying “All that parcel of land forming part of Gipton Wood situated on the east side of Roundhay Road ... together with all the timber and trees growing and standing thereon ...” to the Corporation of Leeds. It was intended that the area should be used and maintained as an open space, for the benefit of the public and should as far as possible be preserved as woodland. This was to be part of a much more ambitious project known as ‘The Leeds (Roundhay, Seacroft and Cross Gates) Town Planning Scheme No.3’. The four donors making this gift had each inherited part of the land from the estate of James Brown (2) who died in1845. James Brown (1) 1758 – 1813 was a merchant and manufacturer with premises in Woodhouse Lane Leeds. On 17 October 1785 he married Ann Williams and had three children, two sons, James and William Williams and one daughter Mary. Mary was born on 12 August 1790 but lived for only ten months. Their youngest son became known as, William Williams Brown JP (1788 – 1856) of Allerton Hall. A prominent banker in both Leeds and London, he was elected to the Corporation of Leeds in 1835. In 1812 he married Margaret Brockden, the only child of Isaac Duncan Brockden of Philadelphia. They had one son and two daughters. Their son Samuel James Brown left Leeds when, in 1841, he married Jacobina Maria Sophia, the eldest daughter of Sir Joseph Radcliffe, Baronet of Ruddington Park, Nottinghamshire.
